Pros: nicely situated campground with many hiking/biking paths nearby.
Cons: The vehicle area for many of the campsites is eroded, making it difficult for larger RVs and trailers.

Beautiful part of Colorado for camping. You definitely feel like you're "out there" even though it's just about 90 minutes from Denver. The campgrounds are nice. Lots of trees and shrubs. Some of the spots are more level than others and there is quite a bit of erosion on the road and in certain parking spots. The camp hosts did a great job of keeping all the sites super clean. If you need cellular service (I did - sad, I know) you can drive 3 mi east up to a spot that is sort of a picnic spot and get full bars there.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.

- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
